An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us

Even when blindfolded, Sprouts the harbor seal can track fish by using his whiskers to follow the invisible trails they leave in the water.

Finished reading #EdYong 's pop science book about the sensory worlds of animals. Full of spectacular animal facts and engagingly and thoughtfully written, but he is perhaps a little too fond of interrupting himself with asides and footnotes. Also, enjoy this […]

Un monde immense : comment les animaux perçoivent le monde Auteur : Ed Yong Démonstration des capacités perceptives des animaux : poissons-chats, chiens, rats-kangourous, entre autres. L'auteur explique comment chaque sens entre en relation avec les autres. Il met en question la domination de l'homme sur la nature et invite à relativiser le rapport au monde pour mieux le comprendre et prendre conscience de l'incomplétude des sens humains. le monde tel qu'il est réellement perçu par les animaux. Avec pédagogie et sensibilité, Ed Yong nous emmène à la rencontre des coléoptères chasseurs de Feu, des tortues qui s'orientent avec les champs magnétiques de la Terre ou encore des poissons qui remplissent les rivières de messages électriques. Pour comprendre notre monde, stupéfiant de beauté et de poésie, inutile de voyager, il suffit de le voir avec d'autres yeux.

@prisonculture.bsky.social Thank you for sharing this story! I love looking at the world through the eyes of #EdYong I, too, was fascinated by the animal kingdom at a very young age. I have "An Immense World," in the #Audiobook version and I love that Ed reads his book on this version. #ThankYou

Earth teems with sights and textures, sounds and vibrations, smells and tastes, electric and magnetic fields. But every animal can only tap into a small fraction of reality's fullness.

Book cover: “An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us” by Ed Yong (Bodley Head, 2022); audiobook read by Ed Yong (Vintage Digital, 2022)

Comprehensive, accessible non-fiction. Yong invites us to imagine umwelts (unique sensory experiences) outside of our own, learning from biologists and drawing insights from the myriad ways (to our eyes often thoroughly alien) that other creatures physically decode and relate to the world. #EdYong

Lacking fine equipment to capture her in as close of detail as she deserves, I've amped up this Costa's hummingbird, buzzing me as I type this, with a filter. Continuing to live the truth of the #EdYong essay(s?) about how learning birding, therefore naturalism, makes life better.
